  • I just went through that for a while and saw nothing that doesn’t look exactly like C#. If it’s based around .NET and looks exactly like C#, why the fuck not just use C#?

    As somebody who first started coding BASIC on an Apple IIe in 1981, I am just so tired of new languages. They all do basically the same shit and there’s just no real point to any of them.




  • I was driving a rental when I visited the Czech Republic. On the highways there the speed limit was about 70 mph (whatever that is in kilometers), but Germans frequently use the Czech Republic as a shortcut to Austria and forget (or don’t care) that they’re not on the Autobahn any more. There were many times when I would glance in the rearview and see empty road behind me for five miles or so, then seconds later I’d glance again and see the grille of a BMW right behind me with headlights flashing even though I was already in the right lane. Truly scary shit.



  • I drive a 2001 which luckily came with a CD player that was wired to use a 6-disc changer mounted in the trunk. For $50 I got an adapter cable that tricks the unit into thinking my aux device is the 6-disc changer. This worked great until I got my latest phone which doesn’t have a fucking headphone jack. I bought an adapter but the top volume level is pitifully low, so I’m back to burning CDs to play in my car.

    Lol you rich kids and your cassette drives. I cut my teeth on my friend’s VIC-20 which didn’t have a hard disk or a tape drive (they were available but my friend’s parents couldn’t afford one). If we wanted to play a game, we had to type it in in BASIC every time.
